Drifting is a controlled slide: the rear tyres lose grip on purpose and the driver holds the car sideways through the corner with throttle and counter-steer. It needs the right tyres and the right floor more than it needs an expensive car — a PKR 5,000 4WD drift car on tile drifts better than a PKR 20,000 truck on carpet.
The first hour is all spins. That is normal. The feel comes from learning how much throttle keeps the slide going without spinning — less than you expect.
Some cars have a built-in gyro that applies counter-steer automatically. They are much easier for a beginner and drift convincingly with almost no skill. They are also harder to learn real technique on. For a child under 10, gyro is the better buy; the product page says if a car has one.
Only with hard tyres and a slippery floor. Some owners tape the rear tyres with electrical tape as a test — it works for a session, then shreds. Better: pick a car sold as a drift car, or the drift vs racing car guide explains what changes between the two.
Drift tyres wear into a flat spot if the car sits on them; rotate them or store the car on its side. Sweep the floor — one grain of grit under a tyre ends the slide. A second battery pack matters more here than anywhere: drifting at full throttle empties a 3.7V pack in 12 minutes.
Hard, smooth tyres on a smooth floor, so the rear loses grip when you apply throttle mid-corner. The driver holds the slide with counter-steer. Rubber tyres on carpet will never drift.
It can slide, but it spins out rather than holding a line. Controlled drifting needs 4WD. Most cars sold as 'drift cars' in Pakistan are 4WD for that reason.
Tile or polished concrete. Wooden floors work. Rough concrete wears the tyres fast, and carpet stops the car sliding at all.
